l To all whom/'it may concern.-

` Be it known 'that' I, BUsso voN BUssE, a

' Asubject of the German Emperor, and a resi- ,ric whichv can be 4stretched as a wall-surface' dent of 5 Kaisestrasse, Marienwerder, in the Kingdom of Prussia, Germany, have inventednew and useful Improvements in Fabric .for Cement Plastering and Concrete, of which the following is a specication.

This invention relates to a new. fabric chiefly consisting of any desired4 fabric (jute) having bare iron wires or rods, wire cables,

&c., woven into it or formed in the fibrous `fabricrin some other way, the said fabric being intended to form a support for cement plastering and concrete.

It-is well known to make walls and the like with insertions of fabric and wire-netting in. such manner that the wire-netting is prol duced on the spot by stretching two layers of wire at right angles to each other and weaving fabric strips into the meshes of the said ,netting *r That well-known process differs from the process according to this invention by the act that in the latter there is a finished fabor as a ceilingfthe'fibious fabric stiffened by the wire insertions allowing the mortar mass to adhere easily or, in the case of ceilings and the like,l supporting the same, so that the bottom covering, which is otherwise necessary, becomes superfluous. Moreover, the

fabric in itself has suflicient stiffness in order to be given any desired shape in which it remains. The fabric can be covered with mortar or with concrete on one or on both sides, or it can be lled with concrete as a mold. The mass of mortar penetrates so far into the loose fibrous fabric that by stripping it off on the other side the wires will be completely embedded into the mortar mass, and thus rendered suitable for resisting tensional strains in the construction.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan of a fabric accordin to this invention, F1 2 being a plan of a mo 'fied construction. n the drawin s, a represents the jute threads, b the thic iron wires, and c the thin iron Wires. In the construction shown in Fig. 1 thick and thin wires are alternately used both in the longitudinal and in the transverse direction. In the construction shown in Fig. 2 the thick wires b are arranged at a right angle to the thin wires. In this way the fabric is rendered more suitable for rolling up, and, if desired, a specially strong construction could be obtained by placing two l fabrics on each other at a'right angle.

Wires and fibrous fabric can be combined inthe new fabric in various manners. Either wires of the saine thickness are arranged at regular intervals or, as shown in the drawt ings, thick wires are arranged at certain intervals, and their place can also be taken by metal bands or rods, wires, cables d, &c., which, more particularly in ceiling constructions, are intended to take up the tensional strains, while the thin wires arranged be` tween them,- together with the fibrous fabric, have for their chief Vobj ect to support the fresh mortar mass until it solidifies.

The fabric can be rolled up into rolls or plates, made fiat or corrugated. "For rolls only flexible wires or hoop iron or wire cables would of course be used in longitudinal direction.

The new fabric can'be used for many purposes,`

In combination with a coating of cement mortar of thin consistency it is used as fireproof covering for .sheds and barns instead of the usual covering of boards, (stretched between wooden, concrete, or iron columns;)

alsofor li ht roofs which are not intended to be walred upon; for covering wooden and clay Walls and ceilings; for weirs and snow-fences, sign-boards, fire roof doors, l

(stretched on iron frames;) insu ated covering fo'r outer walls; support for ordinary tile roofs, (instead of the boards or cardboard strips;) for roof connections, air-shafts, and the like.

Covered with mortar it can be used for outer and inner walls of all kinds, more particularly for unsupported walls, (stretched and plastered;) also for insulating-walls, (more particularly in corrugated form;) for wires, roofs, gutters; as plastering for walls and ceilings, more particularly for clay walls and ceilings; for window and cornice gutters, for lining damaged wells; for vessels and tanks, ash and refuse tanks, columns and masts, (cylindrical fabric or helically-wound narrow strips with mortar coating,) sign- 4boards, air-flues, ireproof doors, covering of iron parts, and the li As a support for concrete it is used for' manufacturing girderless ceilings, (fabrics with thick insertions are stretched from wall to wall, crosswise, if necessary, either taut or hanging down, sometimes with additional insertions, more particularly adjacent to the IIO supporting-wall;) further, for double ceilings independent of each other; for girder ceilings of wood, iron, orcement, (the fabric stretched over the girders either taut or sagging through, or plates of fabric, sometimes in corrugated form, placed between the girders also for hollow floors insulated from the ground; further, for massive roofs intended or walking on'j for bridges; for lining its, ponds, and canals; for streets, and the ike. a mold for concrete body it can be used fg ,the manufacture of massive girders and columns, A(fabric produced in cylindrical shape-or suitably bent, if desired, with an insrtlon of a separate tension-rod, bein filled up, hammered, or compressed to the esired Vross-section;) iron sleepers, (as before, but with a special device for securing the rails;) masts, (cylindrical fabric or strips helically wound and filled u for securin banks, walls of all kinds in Buildings of all ds, or free walls; for weirs, artificial fish-ponds, and the like, (wooden, concrete, or iron columns driven or rammed in or ipes ut in, the fabric stretched at both si es of t e columns and the intermediate space filled with concrete or rubble for artificial foundations, (at the u per end of piles reaching down into gjod bui dinff ground, fabrics with concrete ling, as before factory-chimneys, (outer and inner walls from helically-wound' fabric strips Ycovered with cement mortar, the hollow space filled with concrete,) and the like.

Having now particularly described and ascertainedD the nature of the said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim isl. A fabric for manufacturing constructions of all kinds, comprising bare wires of different thicknesses, the smaller wires being interwoven among themselves and among the larger wires to form squares, and .threads of fibrous material interwoven between said squares, substantially as described.

2. A fabric for manufacturing constructions of all kinds having bare wires of different thicknesses inserted in a fabric of fibrous material, the heavier wires being spaced a certain distance and interwoven and the smaller wires being interwoven among themselves and amon the larger wires, substantially as described.

3. A fabric for manufacturing constructions of all kinds having bare wires of different thicknesses inserted in a fabric of fibrous material, the smaller wires being interwoven among themselves and among the larger wires to form squares, and the larger wires being spaced at certain distances to form squares of substantially greater diameters than those formed by the smaller wires, substantiall as described.

4. A abric for manufacturing constructions of all kinds, comprisin bare wires of different thicknesses, the sma 'ler being interwoven among themselves and among the' larger wires to form squares, and the larger wires being spaced at certain distances to form squares of substantially greater diameter than those formed by the smaller wires, and threads of fibrous material closel interwoven through the Wires thus place substantially as described.

In testimon that I claim the foregoing as myinvention have signed myname,in resence of ,two Witnesses, this 23d day of anuary, 1906.
